Swami Vivekananda traces the downfall of India to the continued neglect of our women and of our masses. This book is an attempt to bring together in a single compass the thoughts of this great teacher on the subject of Indian women?their past, present, and future?that lie scattered in his voluminous speeches and writings.
Let us make our hearts as big as an ocean, to go beyond all the trifles of the world and see it only as a picture. We can then enjoy the world without being in any way affected by it.
-Swami Vivekananda
